1. No, very few teams play 2 point guards in their starting lineup. Theres a point guard and a shooting guard. The point guard is usually about 6'2 or 6'3, handles the ball well and passes well. The shooting guard is usually 6'5 or 6'6, does some ball handling and passing but usually does more scoring then the point guard.

2. No but some do. The knicks for example have played both Lin and Baron Davis at the same time. The Clippers go with 2 point guards alot

First of all, thank you all for your responses and help! I will watch the video tutorial, Almost_Famous. And, thank you for the kudos. But, I figured what the heck because this is basically anonymous.

AND, I guess I'm confused so my question might not have been clear, or I'm not understanding your answers because of my confusion.However, my opinion, and from what I see of his stats, Lin plays much better when he plays longer.

So, I think Woodson should allow him to be the only point guard. Unless, of course, he needs to go to the bench.

I'm sure most of you will disagree after last night's game, but I feel he will learn to be more self-confident if he goes through the humps in the game. And, because I think he plays better under pressure.

Why should Lin be given this advantage? Because in my opinion he has the right stuff to become a great point guard for the Knicks.

And, I think having both him and Davis will only water down bothof their talents.

So, don't most of the teams, like the Heat and Dallas only have one point guard play the "entire"game?

And, couldn't the Knicks do the same? Or, perhaps it's too early for Woodson to do that.

Ahhhhhhh, he's asking if Lin should split his minutes at the point with Baron during each game. All NBA teams do this, 1 player shouldn't be playing the whole game, that will burn the player out and make him ineffective in the 4th quarter, that is why we have bench players to let the starting line-up rest, and also to help provide energy and a "spark" off the bench.
